HP tc2110 disk

[Ken_60]

We have an HPtc2110, with 2 SCSI Hard Disk Drives (18.2Gb each).

Can I upgrade the server to enable disk mirroring? Can I use same disks or have to upgrade them?

Do I have to procure a Net RAID utility or something.

Anyone with ideas ?

Thanks in advance

Ken,

You need to purchase a NetRaid 1M or 2M. The NetRaid Utility is for the NetRaid controller. That is what you'll need for a hardware mirror solution.

You should be able to purchase it directely from HP.com in the hp business store. It looks like the 2m is currently available.

Ken,

Looks like the 1m is also available. Search part number: P3410A

HP Netserver Net-RAID 1M controller, Ultra3 SCSI, 1 channel
(P3410A)

That would be more than enough for the TC2110 unless you are going to go external someday.

Ciao,
Greg

If you are running a microsoft based OS, you can run a software mirror. While this method is cheaper than a hardware purchase, it requires more use of the CPU. Here is a link to the steps involved in setting up a software mirror in windows 2000:
